[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a little extra out of my laptop, so I picked each part that would be built. It came out perfectly! The only downside to this laptop is the battery life, so you pretty much have to always keep it plugged in. Other than that, this thing performs extremely well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my new Omen for about 6 weeks now. It has met every expectation I had. The omen dashboard provides awesome setting adjustments. The gaming quick keys are a huge plus. Played COD War Zone and FFIV at highest or near highest graphic quality. It runs smooth and clean. The only negatives I have are the weight and volume of the fans. It is heavy for a laptop and the fans can be loud enough to drown out low level audio.
I needed a new laptop and so far it has been worth the money! Looks great and performs great as well. I run Skyrim with about 50 mods and it handles it no problem.
Have used to run observatory telescope and dome, as red backlit keyboard doesn't spoil night vision [have red cellophane over screen]. Much faster and responsive than earlier computers used. Exceeded my hopes!
I am worked HP support for several hours today and will meet with them again tomorrow. I expect a hardware failure. I am hopefully the warranty will be honored. Otherwise it is a great computer
